{"product_id":"wilson-defyer-98-pro","title":"Wilson Defyer 98 Pro","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Wilson Defyer 98 Pro is designed for advanced players and strong intermediates who want to generate heavy spin without sacrificing precision. Combining a compact head size, tour-level weight, and a unique 16x20 string pattern, it's built for aggressive baseliners who like to swing fast and control rallies with penetrating pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 98 square inch head provides a precise, confidence-inspiring response, while the unique 16x20 string pattern strikes an excellent balance between spin potential and directional control. At 305g unstrung with a 9 pts head light balance, the Defyer 98 Pro remains quick through the air while offering the stability needed for heavy groundstrokes. Its 320 swingweight provides excellent plow-through without feeling sluggish, and the 22-23.5-22mm Dual Taper Beam combines a stable hitting zone with an aerodynamic profile for faster racquet head speed. Together, these specifications create a racquet that rewards aggressive swings with heavy spin, controlled power, and exceptional precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Defyer 98 Pro incorporates several innovative technologies engineered for today's aggressive game. TORQ Shaft technology uses a sculpted shaft design to improve leverage, stability, and manoeuvrability, helping players generate heavier spin and more penetrating shots. SI3D optimizes three-dimensional frame flex to balance power, spin, and control throughout the stroke. The Dual Taper Beam increases power while maintaining fast handling, and the Airfoil Bumper reduces drag to promote quicker acceleration through the swing. Parallel Drilling expands the sweet spot and creates a more forgiving string bed response, producing a racquet that feels stable, connected, and highly responsive under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Defyer 98 Pro is built for players who dictate points through racquet head speed and heavy spin. Its combination of modern stability, fast handling, and controlled power allows confident players to attack relentlessly while maintaining the precision needed to keep aggressive shots inside the lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"prod_spec\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead Size: 98 sq. inches \/ 632 sq. cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 27 inches \/ 68.6 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 10.8 oz \/ 305 g unstrung\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalance: 9 pts head light \/ 315mm unstrung\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwing Weight: 320 strung\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam width: 22-23.5-22\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlex: 64\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"prod_tension\"\u003eTension Range: 47-57 lbs \/ 22-26 kg \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Pattern: 16x20\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear Introduced: 2026\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle #: WR215311U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"prod_tech\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirfoil Bumper\u003c\/strong\u003e: reduces air resistance around the loop for more efficient, faster swings that increase both power and spin\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSI3D\u003c\/strong\u003e: Optimizes three-dimensional frame bending for targeted power, spin and control.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorq Shaft\u003c\/strong\u003e: sculpted shafts help deliver leverage, stability and manoeuvrability for heavy, penetrating shots\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParallel Drilling\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grommet construction provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response while dramatically increasing the sweet spot.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Taper Beam\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generates power from its height and mobility from the aerodynamic shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wilson","offers":[{"title":"L1 (1-8)","offer_id":53486868169067,"sku":"116695","price":309.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L2 (1-4)","offer_id":53486868070763,"sku":"116688","price":309.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L3 (3-8)","offer_id":53486868103531,"sku":"116689","price":309.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L4 (1-2)","offer_id":53486868136299,"sku":"116690","price":309.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/0337\/files\/WR215311U_defyer_98_pro_a.jpg?v=1783539087","url":"https:\/\/www.merchantoftennis.com\/products\/wilson-defyer-98-pro","provider":"Merchant of Tennis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
